I had a very hard time dozing off. I tried all positions and even not let the calf touch anything, it still hurt. It was a feeling of my inner calf tearing apart. The pain was indescribable but it recited the beginning of cramps; the irritation caused fears as well. I woke up many times …

First physiotherapy after operation
[Monday, 25 September, 2006] I was shocked to see the appointment date on the paper for my physiotherapy during the weekends as I keyed the date into my website’s calendar. The nurse told me it was a Monday but the calendar showed it was a Tuesday. I checked the date of my computer and finally …
Leg injuries and the lump on calf
I am surprised when some people mistake the operation is for my “leg” injury which I am always talking about. It is indeed part of the injuries, which all the doctors have indirectly made me neglect about, but I always thought only the knees were crucial. My injuries include the most serious back injury, loose …
Qu Xiu
Through advertisement or Google search recently, I come across this Chinese website (http://www.quxiu.com) which hosts video files of people singing. It allows voting and commenting too. The URL “Qu Xiu” is the Hanyu Pinyin of “去秀”, which means “show your talent”. I have not spent more than ten minutes to browse over the links but …

Farewell to the fun and sorrowful place
[Friday, 22 September, 2006] After sleeping for two hours, I woke up suddenly with Yixin and Cecilia by my side. Yixin was laughing craftily as they walked off. I was not sure did they do anything to wake me up or I just felt the danger and got up to save myself. With the frame, …
Second chalet day
[Wednesday, 21 September, 2006] I woke up as early as five plus in the morning. Then, I waited for my mum to come as she promised to get me breakfast. The nurse came and asked me to take a seat on the chair while she prepared my bed. I tried to get down and hurt …
The first hospitalised night
[Wednesday, 20 September, 2006] When I was left alone on the bed, I seemed like a worthless corpse. The worst thing I would ever want to do was to bother the nurses and thus I did dare to drink water. I did not even move my leg in case the wound would worsen. The greatest …
Frustrating night
Friday, 22 September, 2006 The entire calf and foot swelled so badly that I could not even stand up. The tension of the muscle was scary and I could feel my calf freezing. Being an active person, it was unbearable to not run and jump about. I hated so much to trouble others and this …
